Rookie Orientation Begins Minus Thomas, Quinn

The Cleveland Browns will start training camp today with the beginning of rookie orientation. The sessions are designed to get the first-year players prepared for their initial NFL training camp. The Browns will be lacking some of their top draft picks as first-rounders Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn, along with second-round choice Eric Wright are unsigned. The Browns have their remaining draft picks under contract. The Browns on Sunday signed fifth-round pick Brandon McDonald, sixth-round pick Melila Purcell and seventh-round choice receiver Syndric Steptoe to four-year contracts. Seventh-round choice, defensive lineman Chase Pittman, signed a four-year contract with the Browns on Friday.
